I’m shocked that he was actually impeached. Next stop for Judge Porteous will be a House seat.
The FBI has tapes on this guy. If he wasn't impeached, those tapes would have come out closer to the November election, making it a campaign commercial for the Republicans. This is preemptive damage control by the Dems, nothing more. If there were no tapes, he'd still have his gavel, to be sure.
A la Alcee Hastings.
